Our bodies convert Cyanocobalimin to Methyl and that's what we absorb...THE METHYL

So why take cyano (that has to be converted), and since B-12 is a large molecule so we realy don't get the amount that we take....

I learned that it's just better (obviously in my case IT WAS MUCH BETTER), to go straight to the Methyl B-12.

Do a google search on Methylcobalimin and you'll see what I mean.

I don't know where I would be today if I didn't take this supplement.

I just turned 62 and hopefully I'll be around for years to come.

I also watch what I put in my mouth and I eat no red meat AT ALL.

For me, it works. Not for everybody, this I know. But for me, (and because I am diabetic), I don't want to take anything for granted.

We only get one body in this life. I want mine to still work.

I can't believe it took me to be in m 50's to learn this, but I learned.

Anyway, if you take the cyano (which is the form used in basically every B-12 pill), you won't actually be getting any benefits.

This is what I learned from Rose and from Mrs. D.

Hope this clears this up.

And don't ever expect a doctor to chime in and say "Oh yeah, B-12, it's the way to go". Doctors practice medicine. THEY DON'T PRACTICE NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS.

I truly believe our bodies can heal (with the proper nutrition).

At least that's my goal in THIS lifetime.

So do a search and learn all about B-12.

Oh, one doctor I spoke to who absolutely didn't believe in any vitamins or minerals grudgingly admitted "Well, if I had to recommend a vitamin, I'd go with Vitamin D".

And see what they are saying about Vitamin D on the internet now??

Thank goodness I take my D every single day.
